Will Tony Romo be the starting QB for the 49‘ers, NY Jets or the back up in Dallas next season ?

I’d be surprised if the Jets went hard after Romo. His health concerns just don’t allow a team to make a major investment in him. If they were able to get him really cheap, and then have Bryce Petty waiting in the wings, it’s possible, but Romo won’t be doing that.

For the same reason, I don’t think SF will be going after Romo. The guy is more fragile than Chrystal Chandelier (Chris Chandler QB ATL) was back in the 80’s. Romo can’t stay on the field, and definitely can’t take a hit. I do believe he’s going to end up right back in Dallas, as the backup. It;s not the ideal situation for him, and I’m sure he didn’t envision his career ending like that, but the fact that he’s just so delicate these days sealed his fate. At least he gets to stay where he’s appreciated, and collect a big fat paycheck while staying healthy, and holding a clipboard.

Q – As exciting as the winning streak is, most of them were 4th qtr comebacks against not so good or average teams.

New clutch era for us that is the beginning of a future dynasty down the road or did the cards just fall right?

stanger

PS — you going to be conflicted with Kaep in there on Sunday?

How quickly we forget!! Ask Mike already pointed out that the first 2 wins were against teams that were hot, especially the Pittsburgh Steelers, who were 4-1, and considered by many to be a contender for a SB bid. Then we beat the red hot Bills, who at the time, were 4-2, and playing good football. We then faced the NY Jets, who at the time had won 2 in a row. Should we call it the “Dolphins Denouement”? The Steelers have gone 1-3 since losing to the Dolphins. The Bills have gone 1-2 since playing the Dolphins, and the Jets 0-1. You lose to the Dolphins, and the season goes down the drain!

OK, the Chargers aren’t great (4-6), and the Jets aren’t either, but both teams were more than capable of beating us, and in years past, they likely would have, but we’re a different team, with a different leader, one that has the team believing, and buying in. The Rams also aren’t a great team, and it looked like they were going to beat 2 AFC East teams consecutively in 2 ugly, poorly played games, but we rose from the ashes at crunch time, and secured a win with some gutsy play from our team.

We’re far from a dynasty, but we’re going about things the right way. We need to keep putting young talent on both the O-line and the D-line. I like the way Lippett is developing, and if Xavien Howard can come back and stay healthy, that’s a decent CB tandem. Byron Maxwell is playing very well right now, much better than he played early in the season. We’re starting to get depth at a position we all thought could be a weakness.

At LB, that’s a place where we probably need to add talent. After seeing what Kiko Alonso can do, he’s been a big part of our defense, I would think we’ll do our best to keep him here in Miami, but he’s a free agent next season, so that’s up in the air. I love the pieces we have on our offense. We have a legit RB, and a couple of capable backups with different skill sets. Damien Williams can spell for a few carries here and there, and also runs hard, and has proven to be a pretty damn good receiver out of the backfield. Kenyan Drake has speed to burn, and he’s the type of guy who who can take it to the house on any play, but he’s not a workhorse back either, so the health of Ajayi is key. I wouldn’t want to hand over the reins to either Williams or Drake, but they both complement him well.

Our coach is the key, he’s made the difference, and will continue to do so. We found our guy, and that’s HUGE! As for the 49ers QB, my days of Kaepersniffing are over. I’m long over him, I like where we’re at with #17.

Q – Is it safe to start talking about playoff possibilities or are we just setting ourselves up to have our hearts ripped out again?

Ken

I could write in every post, and every article that I’m not really thinking about the playoffs, just looking at winning this week and taking it from there, but I’m really thinking about the playoffs! I don’t think it’s possible not to. We’re all scoreboard watching, standings watching, to see the various ways we can make it in to the post season. Of course with hope Ken, there sometimes comes disappointment.

I think we’re ALL enjoying this ride, every game in the last 5 have been very enjoyable to watch, so for that I’m thankful. Starting 1-4, I didn’t really think that would be possible. Funny thing that Thanksgiving is today, and I think as Dolphins fans, we have much to be thankful for!

It seems we have finally found the right Head Coach in Adam Gase, and that alone should have us thanking the football gods. That’s a great start to having a competitive team for a decade or so, maybe longer if he proves he can adapt well. It’s now NFL Week 12, the Dolphins are 2 games above .500, and in the hunt for the post season. That’s exciting as hell! Another exciting thing is this team has found different ways to win. That’s a good T-E-A-M. We’re not just waiting for the QB to lead us to victory, or the DL to get 4 sacks, or the CB’s to get 3 INT’s, or the RB to get 200 yards, or the PR/KR to bring one all the way back for a TD, we’ve done them ALL! To me, that’s the best aspect of this team, is that we can win in various different ways, with contributions from every unit on the team.

Enjoy playoff watching for as long as it lasts. That’s what I say. If we don’t make it, but we go 10-6, of course it will be disappointing, but there will be good things due to the fact we’ll have a bright future to look forward to. If we make the playoffs, but get knocked out in the 1st RD, sure, that will be disappointing. There’s plenty of ways to be disappointed, but go ahead, keep playoff watching, and as long as we keep winning, there ain’t no good reason not to!

Q – So now that we have a winning record and seem to be set up for more wins this year . . .

Are the just win folks going to come around? (not the real question)Tanny was always slow on his reads causing him to hold the ball. What has changed? More time? Better clock in his head?

I think it’s combination of things Wyo. I think Gase has emphasized to Tannehill time and time again not to hold on to the football too long, to be aware of his surroundings, and protect the football. I think mostly, it’s just been better protection by the O-line. He’s always looked very good when he has time, and he’s obviously been practicing those touch throws, because he’s made a few beauties this season. Maybe it’s just been a matter of teaching properly, and not taking for granted that Tannehill should have known this or that, and reinforcing the things he did poorly. Whether Gase is actually a QB whisperer or not is unimportant. Maybe he’s just a good teacher. I think there’s a definite level of respect between our QB and our HC, and I think they both believe in each other, and it’s showing. Gase is finding ways to utilize Ryan’s strengths, and minimize his weaknesses. He’s done that well, but again, I give most of the credit to the O-line.

The success of the O-line, and that means run blocking too of course, has allowed us to have a balance in our offense that we just haven’t had. Thankfully, Gase realizes that if you run it 20 times in the 1st half, whether successful or not, it doesn’t mean you shelve it in the 2nd half. We’ve stayed with the run game, and it’s put a few teams to bed in the 2nd half, which is completely the opposite of a Philbin/Lazor led team. Last week was good, because we didn’t kill it with the running game, and we labored in the pass game all game, until the end, and Tannehill made the plays he couldn’t make in the first 3 quarters, and the receivers made the plays, and O-line allowed all that to happen, so a great team win.

Q – Hello Mr. Hand! Here is my question:With the team riding a 5 game winning streak in which all the facets of the team are stepping up and showing marked improvement, why do you think some “fans” cannot concede that all the players are stepping up and playing better? The team, most fans and the media are in general agreement that Ryan Tannehill is playing much better football this year, even with having to learn an unfamiliar system again and get on the same page as the other players and coach in it. What personality characteristic do you think causes these “fans” to insist on belittling a player when it seems everyone else is in agreement that there has been marked improvement?

Hey Rock, the answer to your question is because we’re human. I’ll elaborate. Think of fans of a football team like voters in a Presidential election. There can be 100 people that are registered Democrats. 25 of them are going to vote for Hillary because they agree with her social issues. 25 are going to vote for her for because they like her economic agenda. 25 are going to vote for her because she’s sexy. OK, that’s not happening, so let’s say they vote for her because of her foreign policy issues. The other 25 have a mix of all of the above, but it’s possible that no 2 of the 100 are the same.

Dolphins fans, and fans in general, have their own agendas. They pick certain players they either like, or dislike, make absolute statements about them, and then root for their opinions to be right. Some fans just blindly root for all of the players that wear that the uniform. Some don’t like players that make the highest salary, and others just root for the underdogs. My point is, we all want the Dolphins to do well, but there are subcategories, some fans also want the team to do well, or fail.

I’m not going to name names, because anyone who regularly reads this blog knows who you’re referring to, and as much as I disagree with that person, especially when the team is doing well, that’s his prerogative to feel that way, and for the most part, I’ll try to ignore those specific comments. Nothing wrong with wanting to be right, and I’d say all of us here have had our hits and misses, I thought Jonathan Martin was going to be a great NFL tackle for us. UGH! I also said we shouldn’t sign Jordan Cameron, so like I said, hits and misses.

It’s OK though, we all root for the same team, and ultimately want the team to do well, and enjoy and share their success, but there’s actually another type of fan that prefers to wallow in misery, and is happier complaining about the teams failure rather than celebrating their success. I’ll leave those to the professional psychologists. 🙂

Q – Ive got one for you MikeE(SORRY i CANT MAKE MY E-MAIL WORK)When was the last time a single team played three California teams in a row and beat them Back to back to back?GO FINS!

I have to say Howie, that question stumped me. I tried to find information regarding this, but odds are, this is an unprecedented situation, where the Dolphins are facing 3 teams from California in a row. No matter what type of query I put in, I couldn’t find where an NFL team played 3 California teams in a row. Until proven incorrect, I’m going to say if the Dolphins find a way to win against the SF 49ers, they will be the first NFL team to defeat 3 consecutive teams from the state of California.

If you think about it, I doubt that any other NFL team has actually played 3 games in a row against teams from the state of California, let alone won all of them.

Thanks for the excellent question Howie, it’s certainly a good one! Admittedly, I’m not quite sober, my boys are back from college, and I declared this Family Crunk Drunk night, and I’m pretty sure at least 3 of us accomplished that. It’s now 1:14 AM, and I’ve sobered up some, so I think this is relatively coherent.

_______________________________________________________________

I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all enjoy family, friends, food and drink, and have safe travels to wherever you’re going.

274 Responses to Ask Mike -2016 Season Week 12

Just one point on the subject of Wyo’s Q about Tanny – at 10-0 down with 20′ left in the third at the Rams, it was 2nd & 10. He dropped back to the 5, bounced up to the 8/9 yard line looking for a pass. It wasn’t there. A safety screamed towards him head on (he couldn’t miss seeing him) and 2 D linemen were tracking across. He had ages to throw it away. He should have, but started to run into the tackles/went foetal). We lost yardage on the play and I was using Mike E language. He should not be making these mistakes still. It’s a small point and it was a great comeback, but he could be so much better then he is if he could improve lots of small aspects of his game. He is doing so and winning me over but there’s still plenty of room for improvement. He will remain under scrutiny because almost every play on O goes through his hands.

Nice job mike. I think this coach and this team are different from the few we’ve had before. This is starting to remind of the 08 season. Although I doubt we win the division. As you said, I’m just enjoying the ride.

Prof.
That looks interesting. Thirty something is a Hell of allot cheaper than 300+ for the Ticket. We only need it for about 5-6 games a season around here and its a little late to pull the trigger on that now…
Please remind us of that next season and I will be ready to go come week one.
HELL YEAH!

thank you girl. but dont feel sorry for me. feel it for his kids. he was really a great guy and left behind two kids in their early 20’s and a wife. they are the ones my heart goes out too. and of course his parents and my ex wife. truly a sad time for all

ROB SAYS,”Funny who a good O-Line makes a team good.” ROB, that is indisputable!! I always thought we could win with Tannehill IF he was given an above average O-Line and IF he focused on releasing the ball just a bit more quickly. One involved better quality personnel. The other involved involved better coaching! Throughout Tanny’s entire pre-2016 career, both the personnel and the coaching WERE MISSING as Ross chose one goofball after another to be head coach and general manager. I’m still not totally sold on T-Baum, but Ross finally struck gold with the signing of Gase as our head coach!

Next draft, we need T-Baum to select at least 2 more quality O-Linemen to give Tanny a chance at another productive year.. Getting some O-Line depth in free agency might not be a bad idea, either. IF upper management can achieve this goal, and plug a hole at linebacker, we do have the talent and coaching that can BRING US SUCCESS IN THE PLAYOFFS!

NOTE THAT despite the recent 5-game winning streak, Dolphin TV ratings are at a historic low (this per Barry Jackson’s column in the Herald). Jackson is one of the best reporters on the Dolphins beat. But even he seems to have overlooked the impact of SEVEN CONSECUTIVE NON-WINNING SEASONS on the Dolphins’ fan base. Those of you who do NOT regularly go to the Fins home games can not fully appreciate the low regard most fans have for this franchise. And it’s going to take MORE than one good year of football before potential Dolphin customers reach into their pockets and financially support a franchise that has consistently broken their hearts since Steve Ross became the owner. Cutting about 11,500 seats out of Hard Head Stadium can give the appearance of a nearly packed house. But the TRUTH IS MIAMI has NOT averaged 50,000 fannies in the seats this home season. One need only look at the upper deck and the empty seats behind the Dolphins bench to know that the south Florida public is not yet sold on Ross’s ability to produce a winner. It will take AT LEAST TWO CONSECUTIVE SEASONS IN THE PLAYOFFS before Ross begins to duplicate the 60,000+ season tickets sold during the Huizenga era in the early 1990’s.

Glitz and glitter do NOT attract true football fans. WINNING TEAMS attract true football fans in south Florida. The concept of “supporting your team through good times and bad times” does not hold much sway down here, despite the presence of a few folks like me who’ll go to games no matter how bad the team is.

OD The stadium upgrades were mainly done so they could host another Super Bowl, not necessarily for “glitz and glamour”. Many of the new stadiums possess these upgrades, so he needed to do this in order to keep up with them. Those seats behind the Dolphins bench cost a small fortune, and the average fan simply can’t afford them. I would suspect that once we start winning, some of the corporations may snatch those up.

I don’t get it. I really don’t. If you’re a fan of the team, what happened last year, or the last years isn’t going to make me not watch, especially during a stretch where the team is playing well. Makes no sense to me.

To me, that’s like if you owned a business, and you were losing money for years, but you finally hired the right guy to make your business boom, but you decided to burn all the money you made because you ran a bad business for so many years. No comprende friende

1/ The Dolphins defense is the best in NFL in 3rd dwn % allowing opposing offenses to convert only 32% of their 3rd downs.
2/ 49ers are 2nd worst in the league on D allowing 47% conversion on 3rd downs.
3/ Miami’s offense is worst in the league converting 3rd downs at 33%.

The 49ers D is the worst in the league allowing 180 yds per game rushing. If we attack them any other way but running the ball down their throats I’d be extremely surprised. We might not even need to pass once this game.

Offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said “sometimes guys don’t have a great sense of timing. Dan understands when to help, when not to. He’s been really a good asset. Not that Adam Gase needs much help being aggressive, but we always tease him [when Marino says] take a shot, let’s get the ball upfield.

BRIAN: My “Glitz and Glitter” comments were NOT so much directed at the stadium upgrades but were instead directed at creating a “south beach nightclub atmosphere” in a failed attempt to attract local “Glitterati” to the games. Ross has clearly steered this franchise in directions that have NOT increased “the brand” (witness the special ‘Florida Gators Day’ in the home stadium of the Hurricanes or various other snafus and insults. The numbers don’t lie. Ratings are down and fannies in the seats are down from the early ’90’ and even down considerably from the 2000 season, the last season Miami won a playoff game. This is NOT debatable. It’s a FACT.
—————————-
MIKE E.: I’m ABSOLUTELY SURE you do not “comprende.” It’s virtually impossible to get a sense of how this franchise is viewed in south Florida IF YOU DO NOT LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA–and your comments prove that. South Florida sports fans are NOT REMOTELY like fans of the Giants, Jets or Eagles. But it’s hard to put these differences into words. But, as I said earlier, the numbers don’t lie.

A WINNING TEAM that wins playoff games WILL TURN THIS FRANCHISE AROUND AT THE TICKET OFFICE. South Florida fans (unlike Packer fans and fans of some other franchises) have not AND WILL NOT support a team mired in non-winning seasons (witness the Panthers, Marlins and others). AND THAT’S A FACT, NOT AN OPINION.

Something to consider about Jordan is the fact that people who have been out of the NFL for over 2 seasons almost never make it back to playing at a high level. It’s a pipedream at this point to hope for anything from him. I think they’ve got him out there to decide if they’ll even bring him into camp next year. It’s a tryout IMO….

Not that I’d complain if I was totally wrong, I just don’t allow myself much hope that Jordan is ever going to be a meaningful contributor to this team.

It actually sounds worse to me. What he basically said was until we develop a culture of winning, the fans won’t pay attention. In other words, the fact that we’ve played very well the last 5 games is irrelevant, it’s going to take years of winning to get them to back the team.

Weird one for me (even if the invites from of my parents’ old friends were appreciated even I declined). Went to a restaurant instead of getting on a plane. But hey — never had a kid crash my car either. 🙂

Other places I have lived where that is true are for the Giants and Redskins. And have read that the Pats actually make it real hard to re-sell to out of towners to keep their home field advantage even if it cuts down on the re-sell price (perhaps the evil genius at work once more).

MIKE E: It WOULD be fair to say most Miami area sports fans are fair weather fans. The era of the HARD CORE DOLPHIN FAN went out the window (for the most part) when Miami stopped being a winning franchise. THOSE OF US who’ve been loyal fans since the early days have mostly died off by now. This coming January will mark the 43rd anniversary of Miami’s last Super Bowl victory. A big percentage of those who actually attend Dolphin games weren’t around in January of 1974. Their level of fandom can’t compare to those of us WHO WERE AROUND during the 1972 and 1973 seasons.

Look at MLB and the Chicago Cubs. They hadn’t won the World Series in over 100 years, yet they fill up that stadium, or close to it for 162 games a year. It’s not just winning or losing, it’s a lack of a developed fanbase. It’s understandable with so many transplants living in FLA.

I think Dolfans are so shocked we have won 5 in a row after starting off 1-4 and have a pretty good chance to make it 6 in a row this Sunday against the 49ers, that we’re not sure if we’re living in… The Twilight Zone. LOL

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Believe it or not, I read somewhere that it’s actually impossible for that to happen. When you make a uniform change, the NFL makes you keep it for a certain period of time, maybe 5 years, and if you want to change it at that point, you have to apply for a change, and get NFL approval.

Just sayin, the NFL is ruining the NFL! Just one girls opinion. But I’m no ordinary girl. 😉

Yep. But I have to say I didn’t have one when he was playing. I bought both of mine locally at a sporting goods store after he was done…on clearance. lol One’s the teal, about a size XXL so it’s pretty big, then I got one of the orange ones, it was a youth size XL which actually is how I plan to buy any jersey’s from now on since the youth sizes are less $.

I know what you mean with the hundreds of flavored vodkas and I agree with you. The stuff I am talking about has been around for like 30 years. It kind of looks and tastes like the green lemon lime kool aide.

I have Culpeper and Welker Jersey’s
Culpeper twice. the first one I threw in the garbage on the way out of the stadium after a horrible loss. Some kid behind me said I’ll take so I said its all yours
The next week I said let me try again, he is going to get good. 80 dollars later we lost again and that must have been his last game here.
Welker I just stapled Camarillo over his name for the Cincy game and it was a hit That worked for another game the next season while that game winning TD was still fresh in everyones mind.
I also have Zach Thomas but its not real. Just some cheap Jersey I found at Walmart or K-mart

I only have 1 jersey with the 90’s colors, it’s a white Marino, with the aqua, orange and the navy blue shadow on the numbers. I really do like the throwbacks though. I think the new colors we have are just too feminine, all pastel like. The old colors are just tougher dammit! I especially like the helmet, with the two darker orange, almost red stripes, and the aqua stripe in the middle. Much better than the new helmets.

If they added more orange to the uni’s, it would probably be a light orange. I love in the darker uni’s the darker orange, which I believe was called coral, it looks great with the more bluish aqua color. I think teams should be able to use alternate uniforms whenever they want. Not sure why the NFL even gives a fuck. When teams had a few alternate uni’s, I bet they all sold, so in the end, the NFL wins.

LOL – I think we are stuck for a while for sure, I think it takes a few years to get approval for a change, because you have to wear the current uni for a certain amount of time, maybe 5 years or something like that.

Gase says Tunsil will be a game time decision. NIce to see Howard listed as doubtful rather than out. Unlikely he plays this week, but he might be back soon.

Miami Dolphins (NFL Week 12) Injury Report & Game Statuses

Why do we always have longest injury report. One season ago I herd them say how Ross invested Millions on this state of the art condition program.
He got ROBBED and there goes the money for our new UNI’S

I think it’s silly what the NFL has done with the injury list. There’s no longer a “probable” designation, so now players that are almost certainly playing are questionable. I think all it does is fuck with people who play FF, because now you don’t know whether your player should have probable, or is really questionable or not.

with the 28th ranked rushing defense I’m sure SF’s strategy is going to be similar. I doubt we’re going to see either team air it out this week, although I have been impressed with Gase’s staff’s game calling. They have a way of keeping me (and defenders) guessing.

The new stadium seats 65,326 and our average game attendance is 65,266. 99.9% of capacity. Many teams do report attendance above 100% (they add additional seating when there is demand for it) but being at 99.9% puts us right in the middle of the league with Pittsburgh on overall capacity utilization.

Doesn’t seem like such a sever attendance problem on the surface, but then again, I don’t live there..maybe it seems different when you’re there. It definitely SHOULD feel less crowded though since the renovation reduced the total seating by 10k seats…

Thanks Herd and Brian! Got a minute of free time so thought I’d read up. I’m sure everyone is stoked on the win streak! I’m skeptical as to the schedule we’ve played against the last few weeks, but I’m just gonna enjoy it while we got it!

I doubt an Adam Gase coached team is ever going to abandon the pass fwiw…but he’s shown a willingness to run stubbornly at tough run defenses (Rams last week), so I’d be surprised if he doesn’t try to take advantage of SF’s poor run Defense.

Pass to get the extra man out of the box, setting up the run would be a wise recipe for an ailing OL. Pass pro is far more difficult for backups to execute than run blocking.

No facts in this one — nice to see the opinion though. And this ain’t from a Phin’s site.
———————————————-

“Adam Gase has changed Dolphins fan’s mindset. For now, gone are the Sundays of “Here we go, again. Typical Dolphins football.” This Miami team has found ways to win. Everybody plays a part. Everybody is hungry to win. The Dolphins aren’t the Dolphins of yesteryear. Adam Gase has them playing every minute of every down as a team that crosses the finish line. For the first time in years, players and fans alike believe this team can win. Gase is doing the impossible, and if that doesn’t scream Coach of the Year, nothing does.”

and he makes all the difference in the world. if we were going into this game in the past we’d probably all be thinking it could go either way and there’s a good chance we end up blowing it but with Gase as the HC and SF being who they are right now I chalk this up as a win and being 7-4 at the end of the day and also being the 6th seed in the AFC as well.
I’m just too confident in these guys right now and it’s all because the coaches know how to get it done with the talent they’ve got on the team.
it’s not the greatest talent in the league but they still get it done. we’ve still got plenty of holes to fill and we REALLY need to start putting up points on offense on a more consistent basis and moving the ball more consistently but we’ve been finding ways to get it done despite those deficiencies.
If I didn’t know any better I’d say Gase is using the field for his little science experiments every week to see what he can create.

agreed. it’s not the team, it’s the HC AND the coaching staff. they are definitely the biggest reason for the difference and the biggest reason we are winning right now. I said before that Gase reminds me of a young Shula because he’s taking a bunch of guys who were underachievers in the past and getting them to win.
still too many holes that need to be filled but if we do we’re golden with this HC.

Young Shula is the closest in our world, but the styles are so different….especially personality. Sorry if you caught me saying before, but with the youth, smarts flexible-thinking, analytics and low-key likeable personality — he reminds me of Theo Epstein.

In my post earlier about running the ball to win it’s more about SF being so poor vs the run that we could probably run the ball the majority of the game and they aren’t going to stop us. With the D being the best in the league at this point at 3rd down conversion % I think we control this game to the point that we could have a t.o.p. around 48 minutes.

And wasn’t that the simple genius of Seinfeld. Took what we all experience in little ways and then put it on steroids. One that reminds of that is Rules of Engagement (even if obviously not as masterful)……and has Puddy too.

MIke E claims their relationship is over and done with. Wanted to explore, but you ever bash the buddy’s girlfriend you never liked only to have them get back together?

No. Not even with the gender’s switched. And not bashing but went so far to tell a friend she was really lucky with the husband she had, nice guy, helped with the kids, cooked, cleaned….the whole thing. And she bitched. No, she BITCHED. About everything. He finally got tired of it and left. And she’s crying to me and I’m thinking I don’t blame him a bit.

Been on the “you don’t seem to realize how lucky you are side” of it too, but at the same time people are screwy. I can’t really call who is going to make you will be happy with. Fermones or something come into that you can’t logic out. You can be much more sure about “this one is bad news” though. The might feel the spark, but not hard to see how they will screw up a friend’s life in other ways.

I have been wearing my Tannehill jersey for every game. The jersey is the previous logo. I wore it to the fest. I did not get a chance to wash it this week so I just threw it in the dryer with a dryer sheet tonight. I’m going to wear it tomorrow. I hope that’s OK.
